                          HONORING ERNIE PYLE

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. LARRY BUCSHON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 16, 2015

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the greatest 
Hoosiers history has seen, who gave his life 70 years ago.
  Ernie Pyle, a Hoosier journalist, became a household name as he told 
of the everyday lives--the trials and tribulations, the honor and 
dignity--of our soldiers in WWII.
  Through his Pulitzer Prize winning column, Ernie Pyle brought the 
hard realities of war into the homes of families worldwide.
  And he was an advocate for the common soldier--the guys he rightfully 
argued wars can't be won without.
  Generations of young journalists--especially those who've studied in 
his shadow at the Indiana University School of Journalism--have greatly 
benefited from his legacy.
  Mr. Speaker, we should all be grateful for the sacrifice and service 
of great men like Ernest Taylor Pyle.
